Q: Hi, I asked a question about HEQT.US (Simplify Hedged Equity ETF) but I think the answer referred to HEQT.TO. I am interested in what you think about this ETF with the following description : The Simplify Hedged Equity ETF (HEQT) seeks to provide capital appreciation by offering US large cap exposure while investing in a series of put-spread collars designed to help reduce volatility.

How would you rate its performance, especially if we assume a sideways to down year? Thanks!

Q: Hello, I hope all keeping well.

When reading through QUESTIONS (and answers) , I often wonder if the companies mentioned are in your model PORTFOLIOS?

Is there a way that the companies mentioned could have some form of "marker" to indicate that they are indeed on your model lists?

For me, seeing that marker would be very helpful.

All the very best
